Just had call back of lexus and unfortunatly car can't be picked up till sometime next week..... Head guy apologises for my predicament and has reassured me that when my motor is picked up its not a young boy racer.... As intially a bit sceptical about allowing some else to drive my car such a long distance down the road, did mention I'd be more than happy to have a rc-f or lf-a as a replacement courtesy car 😆😆😆 but bet it's a ct 😠

No bmws,jags,merc, may consider a Audi R8... Don't need a family car for myself as got Mrs a new one last year so now just needing a boy toy for myself .... If I Stayed with lex I'd think of a RC-F

Think I'll stop commenting for now as can't think of anything nice to say 😃. Laters

Not my 1st bad experience.... I had a GS450h prior to this and had big issues with drivers door lock seizing and collapsing couldn't get door open manually or electronically intially they wer going to have to destroy door card to access lock but then when priced up a door card at £2200+vat decided to seek other ways of getting to lock..... They did tell me how they did this but can't/wont write about it on a open forum as compromises Lexus car security... Needless to say I now know how to open these cars without keys or major damage to car 😉😉😉 Cost me a few pounds for that .... Lexus UK refused to help out even tho techs said it was a major fault with door lock and not misuse etc Unsure what next car will be.... Let alone what marque

Malc ive still got my last LS400.... If/when I sell the LS600 I won't be buying another Lexus,

Been doing a bit of digging about and my problem could be down to a faulty heater seat thermostat relay.... Which resets its self after car is switched off then once cars switch on again runs for 5-10 mins before tripping again..... If only techs would try and find out the problems instead of just thinking its a failed part and replacing (without properly checking afterwards).... A bill of £1350+vat could end up being a £20-30 or whatever it costs part..... Thank god for warrantys Once car gets sorted I will be putting it on market after next MOT & Service (may 2015)

John..... Contact me nearer the time that your up my way.... So I can arrange not to be here lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks Colin.... I'll be mentioning this in morning.... Hopefully everything resolved soon Unfortunatly I also still have the shogun and do not want to be left with this again for another few days.... Then again I got this due to intial breakdown thru Lexus assist and as my car is no longer classed as a breakdown hoping they will take it away and possibly Lexus garage will give me a courtesy car seeing as problem hasn't been resolved and am inconvenienced due to misdiagnoses by thier techs or a faulty new part ?????

Will just cool down for now.... And hopefully phone all nice and calm in morning... They may bend over backwards to sort this out with no cost to myself or unneeded mileage placed on my car by being driven up n down to them.... I bought a low mileager for a reason... So I can still sell it on as a low mileage minted prestine top of range car once I've had my pleasure with it.... Well had it now so need this sorted so I can pass it on to someone else.... I'm giving up and going to get a soap box and pram wheels and make my self a go kart WITH HEATED SEAT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Did the online chat thingy with "Catherine from lexus UK" lol and looks like I'm not covered for lexus to recover vehicle the 4.5hrs drive down to dealership... But could send some up to drive it down and back up once sorted ..... YEAH RIGHT like I'm going to let that happen.... No-one drives my car.... Last time i let a garage do something like this I found out from a friend that had seen my car in at the local McDonald's with a mechanic ordering a Big Mac So basically I need to use my fuel and my time to drive down and drop car off then if I don't get a courtesy of them I'm either hiring a car to get back up road or slumming it on public transport (that'll never happen either) I don't like to be out of pocket for a mistake that should / could of been sorted when it was down there ..... I know I'm ranting again But best give dealership the chance to redeem themselves and bit unfair to them at moment as haven't spoke to mechs/techs there yet as its Sunday.... My alarm set so I'm up n on phone 1st thing in morning .....

On the LS600 and more than likely the 460 the heated seat element is not separate from leather it's been made as a one piece (hence the price tag of £1350+vat).... So I recieved a complete new base (except plastic surround) hence the new leather etc... My orginal leather was nice a tight (no sign of wear either it still looked new (09 with only 28k on clock) Seat now looks more used now with leather being crumbled not at all happy Up till today I could of been a lexus salesman with my liking of the brand ..but as of today if some asked me I'd tell them to look elsewhere that's how disappointed and peeved off I am... They had my car for 10days to put a new battery in and replace seat and do the 3hr recall work on it....ok yes I realise they had to order the parts 2-3days but to replace seat and not test it out after intial problem which is exactly the same as now ... I'm stunned and disappointed..... I can see this being my last lexus....

You'll need a bearing press to get it out and back in.... I had my bearing replaced in my LS400 both n/s and o/s Unfortunatly no other info on diameter etc that I can give you

Away to look at a 2cv hahahahahahahaha

ps lexus LS600hl low mileage mint condition(apart from heated seat doesn't work)..... for sale/scrap/spares.... Now to get into trouble for not being a gold member roflmao lol

Looking at seat the new leather also looks ruffled rather than tight n smooth.... Am sorry guys but IMO lexus have fukt up here..... I explained that seat intially heated up then went cool and blew cold air at me after 5-10 mins so they replaced bottom half of seat leather and element .... Took car for a spin today and 5mins later goes cool and blows cold air at me for the next 30mins of my drive... Mrs is sat smerking at me with her heated seat working perfectly all thru the journey..(hate her ).. Parked car up went shopping then return journey home same again ie 5mins seat warms up then goes cold with cold air blowing onto my butt

Cars still under warranty so repair will be free.....

They can come and recover it again at there expense and give me a proper replacement car instead of a tractor aka shogun.... My Mrs is so staying out of ear shot as I'm ranting about changing marquee of cars now (won't happen but just me being unhappy and spouting off) Oh and they can replace the engine cover clips they've lost as well... Maybe just as well Lexus techs aren't in today and was just a young girl who answered phone at Lexus as I was ready to lose the plot... So hopefully calmed down by tomorrow morning when I phone them up again

As YOUs know my LS600hl's heated drivers seat wasn't working and was replaced under warranty and I recieved car back yesterday afternoon...... WELL GUESS WHAT..... It still isn't working right... Heats up 1st 5mins then blows flipping cold air at my butt.... Looks like I'll be without my car AGAIN shortly.... Disappointed and hacked off is a understatement 😣😞😒

Suns out very gentle breeze already washed n polished Mrs and sons car.... Don't need to do mine as it arrived back spotless 😃

Santas been....😃 and I have her back 😃😃

More chance of me growing boobs and wearing a mini skirt chris 😂😂😂😂. But that's a different story hahaha

Not that I'm checking on its progress coming back up the road BUT it's about 2 n half hours away at the moment 😂😂😂 yes I'm tracking it coming back up road lol sad yes do I care NO 😝

Rudy ....the only thing I like about the shogun is I DONT HAVE TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE .... Lol phoned the hire company up and they said oh just keep it till Monday as its paid up till then... I said NO thanks come and take it away ASAP so there coming to collect it in morning.... Good riddance to a inferior car aka skip on wheels

Whoop whoop... Just had the phone call to say cars sorted and ready for transporting back up to me... AA recovery phoned to say we can pick it up today but will be sat on transporter at services till driver can legally drive again as running out of hours for the day... My answer to that was leave it at Lexus and pick it up in morning.. Not wanting car sat in a services over night (I'm a lorry driver and know what goes on in services at nights ie pikeys and normal general thieves... So both Lexus n AA agree to leave it till morning 😄😄😄 Got fuel tank topped up by them 😄 note to self don't send car down with 3/4 tank next time 1/4 tank lol 😂😂😂 Really looking forward to getting HER back Had to drive to Aberdeen today in the shogun and argggggghhhh I hated every minute of journey (I don't like diesels) plus noisy and felt the gear changes (autobox) and every bump in road

Lol you can imagine the havoc my kids can cause with all the buttons in the back of the 600... From the back they can change stations volume etc of the stereo up front grrrrrrrr along with putting side n rear blinds up n down etc etc only happened twice now and have stopped after I pulled over and said I'd phone mum n she can come and pick them up in her inferior car.... Result no more pressing buttons for the fun off it...... Yes I'm a ogre when it comes to misbehaving in the lexus
